MUNDANE SOCIETY MADE A STATEMENT
‘’THEY AIM TO POSE A THREAT OUT ON THE RECORD MACHINE!’’
WE AIN’T A PART OF BUT WE SURELY DO NOT DISAGREE
ANYTHING TO STIR UP AND KICK THE SCENE
IF YOU CAN’T COPE WITH THE OUT OF ORDINARY NIGHT
WELL DRAW THE CURTAINS AND, GET BACK INSIDE!
IT’S A SONIC LANDSLIDE, WE’LL BURY YOU INSIDE, A SONIC LANDSLIDE, YOU AIN’T GOT NOWHERE TO HIDE
IT’S A SONIC LANDSLIDE, LET THE HEYDAYS SET THINGS RIGHT!
THE ROOT OF ALL ACHE ARE EXPECTATIONS
TAKE A LOAD OFF, PSYCHING OFF THAT GOOD OLD SOUND
IF YOU’RE SEEKING OUT THREE-CHORD ACTION
COME DOWN AND GET YOUR SATISFACTION
ATOMIC SPACE AGE REVOLUTION
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
IF YOU’RE SEEKING OUT THREE-CHORD ACTION
CONSIDER THIS FOR YOUR RECORD COLLECTION

WELL A LONG TIME AGO DOWN IN THE CITY OF MACON GEORGIA LIVED A BOY NAMED MR. PENNIMAN
THE 3RD OF MANY HE WORKED HIS WAY OUT OF THE ALLEY AND GREW UP TO BE A TALENTED ONE
SISTER ROSETTA SAW THE LIGHT AND TOOK HER HAT OFF AND SAID: ‘MAN WON’T YOU LOOK AT THIS!’
HE SANG THE ROOF OFF THE VENUE PRANCED AROUND AMONG THE MANY SHOOK HIS HAND AND SAID NOW GIVE ME A KISS
C’MON BABY BOW DOWN, BOW DOWN TO THE KING
BOW DOWN, BOW DOWN TO THE KING
LIGHTYEARS AHEAD WELL THE MAN HAD A VISION THEN CAME 1955
OUT OF THE JUKE JOINTS ON HIS WAY UP TO THE BIG TIME, YES HE BROUGHT A MANY SOUL TO LIFE
CONVINCED OF THE DEVIL HE WENT TO PREACH A HIGHER LEVEL, MADE AN OATH TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
BUT THE WORK HAD BEEN MADE, LEVEL WAS LAID, THE ROYAL SIGNATURE SIGNED
BOW DOWN, BOW DOWN TO THE KING
THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE ONE AND ONLY
THE TRUE ORIGINAL ECCENTRIC
C’MON BABY, LET ME HEAR IT, C’MON HONEY, SHUT UP!
BOW DOWN, BOWN DOWN, BOW DOWN…
BOW DOWN TO THE KING!

SINCE I WOKE UP THIS MORNING WELL NOTHING SEEMS TO GO MY WAY
MY LAUNDRY IS STILL WET, AND MY FAVORITE SOCK WENT ASTRAY
MY COFFEE CAME OUT STALE AND I CAN’T FIND MY GODDAMN PAPERS
THE SKY IS GREY AND I’M STRUGGLING WITH MY SHOELACES
I GUESS THIS IS HOW IT’S GONNA BE, I JUST WANT TO BE FREE
I DID’T DO ANYTHING WRONG, I JUST WANNA MOVE ALONG
TRIPPIN DOWN THE STAIRS CAUSE THE LIFT IS OUT OF OPERATION
ALL THE LIGHTS TURN RED JUST PILING UP ON MY FRUSTRATIONS
THE LIFESIZE BILLBOARD REMINDS ME OF OUTSTANDING BILLS
MY TEETH ARE ACHING AND WONDERING WHEN THEY’RE GONNA GET FILLED
I GUESS THIS IS HOW IT’S GONNA BE, I JUST WANT TO BE FREE
I DID’T DO ANYTHING WRONG, I JUST WANNA MOVE ALONG

PISTOL PACKING PENNY, THEY SAY SHE’S GOT IT OUT FOR ME
SHE GOES AROUND TOWN, ASKING PEOPLE WHERE I COULD BE
SHE THINKS I’VE DONE HER WRONG BUT SHE’S GOT IT ALL WRONG YOU SEE!
PISTOL PACKING PENNY IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH
SHE LOOKS MIGHTY CUTE BUT SHE’LL END YOU IF SHE SEES FIT
I WANT TO GET OUT BUT SHE’S GOT ME IN A MIGHTY GRIP
PENNY PRETTY BABY (HAVE MERCY-MERCY), PENNY WON’T YOU PLEASE (HAVE MERCY-MERCY)
I’M COUNTING THE TIME (HAVE MERCY-MERCY)
1-2-3-4-5, I SAID NOW PENNY C’MON

IN THE LIGHT OF STAYING TRUE TO ONESELF I WOULD LIKE TO DECLARE THE FOLLOWING
SO LISTEN GOOD, AND LISTEN WELL

SEE HOW WE THRIVE AND PUSHIN’ NOT ALLOWED INDEED
RADIATING 'X' AND SOME SOUL ON A VIGILANT BEAT
WELL ’77 DOWN THE LEAKING DRAIN ALRIGHT
BACK TO ’65 IN THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT
OH YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT, WE RIPPED YOU TO PIECES LEFT YOU FAR BEHIND
OH YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT, WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BUT WE’LL HAVE OUR OWN NOW
CAUSE WE’RE CUT….. CUT FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH!

COMPROMISING OFFERS AUTOMATIC DECLINE
LET THE RECORD STATE THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
SYSTEMS ARE GO, SYSTEMS ARE GO, ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO ALRIGHT!!
OH YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT, WE RIPPED YOU TO PIECES LEFT YOU FAR BEHIND
OH YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT, WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BUT WE’LL HAVE OUR OWN NOW
CAUSE WE’RE CUT….. CUT FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH

IT’S BEEN EIGHT MONTHS AND ELEVEN DAYS
WHEN THIS GIRL AND I WE PARTED WAYS
BUT THEN LAST NIGHT I WALKED DOWN 7TH AVENUE
WHEN SHE BROKE THROUGH
SHE LOOKED SO MEAN SHE LOOKED SO FINE
SENT THE CHILLS STRAIGHT DOWN MY SPINE
I NEED A NEW THRILL BABY, SHOW ME WHAT’S IN STORE
AND THEN SHE SHUT THE DOOR
SHE WAS SHAKING IT DOWNTOWN - BLACK BELT LEATHER BOOTS
SHE WAS REVVING IT UPTOWN - A KISS AND LETTING LOOSE
STEALING HEARTS INCLUDING MINE, SHOT DOWN YEAH YEAH YEAH
I WAS STOPPED RIGHT IN MY TRACKS NOW LET ME TELL YOU
CAPSIZED, SHATTERED, PAINS RIGHT THROUGH MY CHEST
LEAVE YOUR PRETTY PATH OF RUINATION
DO WHAT YOU DO BEST
SHE WAS SHAKING IT DOWNTOWN, BLACK BELT LEATHER BOOTS
SHE WAS REVVING IT UPTOWN, A KISS AND LETTING LOOSE
STEALING HEARTS INCLUDING MINE, SHOT DOWN YEAH YEAH YEAH
SHOT DOWN!

Hard Times

THE SAINT CAME OUT THIS MORNING, TO ADDRESS THE STATE OF CURRENT AFFAIRS
WHILE THE SHELLS THEY HAVE BEEN FLYING, MRS. BROWN’S GOT A STOMACH TO SPARE
‘’THERE’S NOT MUCH I CAN DO HERE’’, HE MUMBLED UNDER HENNESSY BREATH
HE WENT BACK INSIDE IN HIDING, BUT BEFORE THIS IS WHAT HE SAID, HE SAID
HE SAID THESE ARE HARD, HARD, HARD TIMES
THE SOCIALITE SET UP A FUNCTION, FOR THE DOWN-TOWN IN-CROWD FOLK
AND THE INVITES WERE HARD TO COME BY, BUT THEN SHE WAS DIAGNOSED
THE BAD NEWS TRAVELED FAST, AND HER STATUS WAS RIPPED APART
HER DEATH SHE DIDN’T MUCH CARE FOR, IT WAS THE REJECTION THAT BROKE HER HEART!
SHE SAID THESE ARE HARD, HARD, HARD TIMES
THE ART OF RECONCILIATION, HAS A DOUBLE-SIDED ENTRY POINT
EVERYBODY WANTS TO JOIN THE CLUB, BUT I SAY IT’S BETTER YOU DON’T
THE END IS A GIVEN ASSURANCE, SO GO AHEAD AND PICK YOUR LEMON OR LIME
THE ONE THING WE CAN SURELY AGREE ON, IS THAT WE LIVE, LIVE IN PRECARIOUS TIMES.... THESE TIMES!

She Keeps on Running
02:50

STICK WITH ME IF YOU WANNA GET HIP
SAID THE CHICK WITH THE POUTING LIPS
THEN JUST WHEN I THOUGHT MY LIFE BEGAN
I SEE HER IN TOWN WITH ANOTHER MAN
CAUSE AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN 2X
I TOLD HER 25 TIMES THAT WE’RE THROUGH
BUT EVERY TIME SHE LEAVES ME BLUE
SHE ALWAYS COMES BACK SUCCEEDS TO MAKE AMENDS
BUT AFTER SHE RUNS OFF WITH A BRAND NEW FRIEND
CAUSE AGAIN, AND AGAIN YET AGAIN YES AGAIN 2X
SHE KEEPS RUNNING ROUND AND ROUND, SHE MAKES MY HEAD TURN UPSIDE DOWN
SHE KEEPS RUNNING ROUND AND ROUND, SHE STOMPS MY HEART DOWN IN THE GROUND
LORD HAVE MERCY!
I’M WONDERING HOW I ALWAYS END UP IN THIS MESS EACH TIME
SHE WRUNG OUT MY LOGIC DEEP DOWN THE DRAIN
BUT THIS IS IT I’M DONE NO I DON’T CARE NO MORE
GONNA PACK MY BAGS AND JUMP THE TRAIN!
SHE KEEPS RUNNING ROUND AND ROUND, YOU KNOW MY SOUL AIN’T NO PLAYGROUND
FROM NOW ON I WON’T BE FOUND, I’M GONNA FIND ME A GIRL THAT’S SOUND
